"Librarians have been campus change leaders for decades. They were among the first professionals to use computer networks to provide access to information. Where did computers, fax machines, CD-ROM drives, scanners and digital cameras make their first appearance on many campuses? The library! What is it about librarians that make them seek, use and refine new technologies? What does the app-wielding librarian of today have in common with the ProQuest-on-CD-ROM librarian of yesterday, and how can we ensure that we'll continue to provide that (whatever it is) to our colleges in the future?"
